You know what’s wild? If the human race dies out and some alien species explores earth 10,000 years from now, you know what’s going to blow them away? The Pyramids. It’s been thousands of years and nothing we’ve made has topped that, and they did that shit by hand. Embarrassing.
Now I know who to thank for my good looks
That's me, actually. Fuck Luís Filipe of Orléans and D.Pedro
academic bias is so funny because you’ll be reading about the same historical event and one person is like “Despite the troubles that befell his homeland and near constant criticism of the court King Blorbo remained strong in the face of adversity” and the other one is like “after letting his people carry the brunt of his cringefail decisions Blorbo the Shitface refused to listen to any reason and continued to be a warmongering piece of shit. Also he was ugly.”
did I ever tell yall I used to think charlie chaplin was a drag king. for like three years straight
ME then again I'm even more interested in social studies (which really should be considered part of history in a lot of cases)
In time travel movies, when the time traveler asks 'What year is this?!?' they're always treated like they're being weird for asking.
When in reality, if you go 'What year is this?!?' people will just say '2024. Crazy huh.' and you go 'Wtf where has my youth gone.'
And if you ask 'And what month??' people won't judge you, they'll just go like 'SEPTEMBER!!! Can you believe it?!?!' and you go 'WHAT?!? Last time I checked we were in May?!?'
I've done that before tbh and I get the appeal since it's a great for making cool fonts with limited resources or effort. And while people may be able to read the real meaning, they'll still know what you meant most likely. What's confusing is permanently putting that on your body when you have so many other options for a similar effect...
i recommend learning other alphabets if for no other reason than it’s very fun to see people replace latin alphabet letters with complete nonsense for Aesthetic
Fuck my daddy issues. From day one they've had me see my male history teachers and go
"Is this a father figure? Is this who I will claim as my dad? Father look at my knowledge please be proud of me please."

That's one small step for man, one giant leap for USA !!
The SS Warrimoo, a passenger steamship traveling from Vancouver to Australia, was silently knifing its way across the mid-Pacific waters. The navigator had just finished calculating a star fix and handed the results to Captain John DS. Phillips.
The Warrimoo's coordinates were LAT 0º 31' N, LONG 179 30' W. The date was December 31, 1899. "Know what this means?" First Mate Payton announced, "We're only a few miles from the intersection of the Equator and the International Date Line."
Captain Phillips was prankish enough to seize the opportunity to do the nautical feat of a lifetime. He summoned his navigators to the bridge to double-check the ship's position. He altered his course slightly to focus directly on his target. He then altered the engine's speed.
The calm weather and clear night worked to his advantage. At midnight, the SS Warrimoo rested on the Equator, exactly where it had crossed the International Date Line. The ramifications of this odd arrangement were numerous.
The ship's bow was in the Southern Hemisphere, in the middle of summer. The stern was in the Northern Hemisphere, in the midst of winter. The date on the aft portion of the ship was December 31, 1899. The date on the forward half of the ship was January 1, 1900. The ship experienced multiple days, months, years, seasons, and centuries simultaneously.
